About

Cephalotaxus, commonly called plum-yew or cowtail-pine, is a genus of conifers comprising 11 species, either considered the only member of the family Cephalotaxaceae, or in the Taxaceae when that family is considered in a broad sense. The genus is endemic to eastern Asia, though fossil evidence shows it had a wider Northern Hemisphere distribution in the past. The species are shrubs and small trees reaching 1.0–10 metres (3–33 ft) tall.
